Recent months have seen Bitcoin 
$109,273 prices stagnate, fluctuating in narrow ranges, frustrating investors who have better days ingrained in their memory. Past years have occasionally presented even tougher situations. Those who endured the relentless inactivity of Bitcoin prices are familiar with the mental strain and anticipation of potential declines. The trend observed in recent years prompts the question: Will we witness an upward movement in altcoins this summer?
Anticipating the 2025 Altcoin Surge
The ETF channel is experiencing strong demand, contrasting with both 2021 and 2017 scenarios. As individual investor strategies and attitudes toward cryptocurrencies evolved, institutional investors’ involvement has rendered many traditional on-chain metrics unreliable as indicators.
Individual investors now prefer short-term gains, distancing themselves emotionally from cryptocurrencies. Contrarily, in 2017, they were deeply involved, closely following altcoins’ roadmaps and passionately defending projects on social media. Today, such extended commitments are scarce. Institutional investors have reshaped the landscape by introducing larger liquidity inflows than seen in previous periods, evidenced by a continuous decrease in Bitcoin supply on exchanges, mirrored by ETH.
As we contemplate the near future, one might wonder: Will this summer witness an altcoin surge? The quick resolution of tariffs ahead of summer seems unlikely. Potential early results from negotiations with Iran might parallel tariff resolutions. However, key to an altcoin surge is the anticipated interest rate cuts expected to commence in the fall. Without significant surprises or swift agreements, an altcoin surge seems improbable, even barring potential Middle East tensions.
Expectations for Altcoin Surge are Low
DaanCrypto, a well-known figure in cryptocurrency, predicts no altcoin surge this summer.
“June has seen BTC fluctuating between -5% and +5% from monthly opening levels. While altcoins lag, trading is average. Given historical seasonal trends in both stock and crypto markets, I expect a slower summer, with better times ahead. Past two summers have been volatile, posing challenges for investors. This year appears similar, so I’ll avoid active trading—better to gather long-term positions during such times.”
Roman Trading echoes these sentiments, highlighting altcoins’ continued weakness against BTC, which supports Bitcoin’s market dominance, implying a lack of an altcoin surge.
“All [altcoins] look weak. Take LINK/BTC, for example. All are in free fall. No upward trend. No reversal signs.”
As of this writing, BTC is at $103,500.
